VidCore API is a 100% free streaming embed API that lets you embed movies, TV shows, and anime into any website using a single iframe. Just pass a TMDB ID — no API key, no signup, no rate limits required.

Is VidCore API free to use?

Yes, completely free. VidCore API has no pricing tiers, no rate limits, and no API key requirement. Embed as many players as you need without any cost.

Do I need an API key to use VidCore API?

No. VidCore API works without any API key or account. Simply construct the embed URL with a TMDB ID and drop it into an iframe on your site.

Does VidCore API support TV shows and anime?

Yes. VidCore API supports movies, TV episodes, and anime. For TV shows, pass the TMDB show ID along with the season and episode number in the embed URL to load that exact episode.

What video quality does VidCore API stream?

VidCore API delivers HLS adaptive bitrate streams up to 1080p. The player automatically adjusts quality based on the viewer's connection speed for smooth, buffer-free playback.

Does VidCore API support subtitles?

Yes. The embedded player includes multi-language subtitle support. Subtitles are loaded automatically when available, and the viewer's language preference is remembered between sessions.

What happens if one streaming server goes down?

VidCore API queries multiple streaming servers in parallel and automatically falls back to the next available one if a server is down or slow. This ensures near-100% uptime for your embedded players.

How do I track watch progress with VidCore API?

The VidCore API player fires postMessage events on play, pause, and timeupdate. Listen to these events in your parent page to build continue-watching, episode tracking, or analytics features without any extra backend.

Can I customize the VidCore API player to match my brand?

Yes. You can pass an accent color parameter in the embed URL to match your brand palette. Additional URL parameters let you show or hide specific controls for a white-label experience.

How is VidCore API different from VidSrc or SuperEmbed?

VidCore API is the only free streaming embed API that combines no-API-key access, anime support, multi-language subtitles, progress sync via postMessage, custom accent colors, and multi-server automatic fallback — all in a single iframe with zero setup.
